I'll be there in October! Edit: I went and it was wonderful! Everything I hoped it would be...can't wait to go back!

• First and foremost, I can't wait to ride Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey.
  • See inside Dumbledore's office and get a look at all his gadgets and trinkets and books. I am hoping the Pensieve will be in there, maybe an animatronic Fawkes!
  • See all the moving portraits and hopefully The Fat Lady!
  • Feel as if I am flying on a broomstick.
• Visit Hogsmeade and all the other shops and eateries:
  • Three Broomsticks.
    • Have a Butterbeer, then maybe a cauldron cake and then wash it down with some pumpkin juice!
  • Hog's Head.
    • Have some of the custom ale made just for the park.
  • Zonko's Joke Shop.
  • Honeydukes.
    • Load up on chocolate frogs.
    • Try treacle fudge.
    • Marvel at those fabulous sea foam green walls and shelves lined with glass jars of colorful candies.
  • Ollivander's.
    • See the tall tiers of dusty wand boxes.
    • Purchase my wand! I'm thinking something with a phoenix feather or a unicorn tail hair for the core. Maybe made out of a dark, heavy wood.
• Send a letter from the Owl Post.
  • Probably just back home to myself so I can keep it as a souvenir.
• Take a picture in front of the Hogwarts Express.
  • Actually, take a picture in front of everything.
• See Hagrid's hut.
  • This is actually really high on my list of things I want to see. I've always found it so charming and cozy.
• Ride the Flight of the Hippogriff.
  • I never rode it when it used to be the Flying Unicorn so it will be a new experience for me!
• Ride Dragon Challenge.
  • I rode this many times when it was the Dueling Dragons and they're probably two of my favorite roller coasters ever but I am really most looking forward to all they've done to the walk-through to get to the ride.
• Take shit loads of pictures of every single minute detail. I can't wait to explore every nook and cranny!
• I am also actually looking forward to waiting in line for all the rides just to soak up everything.
